Launching operator-branded, iPhone compatible versions has proven to be a successful move, further cementing mobile operators’ strong position and unique relationship with subscribers, even within the app. store environment. The 200,000 downloads mark presents a great achievement and serves as end users’ vote of confidence and clear preference for applications provided and supported by the familiar and trusted operator, especially when it comes to mission-critical applications such as search, mapping and navigation, which also require use of sensitive user information such as location.

“The 200,000 downloads mark proves that operators are indeed still the most important partner for end users. The long-term familiarity, trust and billing relationships prove significant time and again when it comes to mobile services, and Telmap will continue to partner with operators on delivering location-enabled mobile interactions to their subscribers”, said Motti Kushnir, Telmap CMO.
